‘RHOC’ Star Vicki Gunvalson Has Another New Man With A Sleazy Past, Just As Brooks Ayers Admits He Is ‘Crazy’

Vicki Gunvalson might have another new man, but is he any better that the Real Housewives of Orange County star’s previous boyfriends?

Reality Tea reports that Gunvalson is in a relationship with Steve Lodge and hasn’t been able to keep quiet about how much she likes him.

While Gunvalson’s daughter, Briana, appears on board with Lodge, it turns out that he has a sleazy past that rivals the worst of Brooks Ayers.

Lodge is a former police officer and is currently bidding for a spot on the Anaheim City Council. Lodge is running behind the notion that his work in law enforcement makes him an ideal candidate for the job.

Unfortunately, new reports have come to light that indicate Lodge was a dirty cop. Apparently, Lodge didn’t exactly retire from the force.

Lodge worked for a number of years in the SanTana police department, where he managed to amass quite a few misconduct violations. These violations led to numerous lawsuits.

In one case, a judge awarded a jaywalker $292,000 because of Lodge’s use of excessive force.

Another man was wrongfully convicted of murder, though he is no longer behind bars.

At the same time, Lodge stirred up more controversy when he spoke out against the election of a Mexican Chief-of-Police, telling citizens, “He’s dirty. It’d be a bad choice.”

Of course, Lodge has attempted to gain favor within the Hispanic community by running as Steve “Chavez” Lodge. However, after a blogger called him out for using a fake name, a judge forced him to use the name Steven Albert Chavez Lodge.

Despite failing to run for city council in the past, Lodge is giving it another go this year. His sleazy past, however, is likely going to prevent him landing a spot in politics.

As far as Vicki Gunvalson is concerned, the reality star appears more than happy with her new relationship. In fact, she recently took to social media to express her excitement about another date with Lodge.

“Date night #30 after meeting 7 weeks ago,” Gunvalson wrote on Twitter. “What an incredible man I am dating whom God has placed in my life when I was least expecting it.”

The only question remaining is whether or not Gunvalson has picked another guy that will end up ruining her reputation. While the verdict is still out on Lodge, Star Pulse reports that fans have already expressed their concern.

“Let’s hope your instincts are right…you did think Brooks was the man for you and,” one fan wrote in response to Gunvalson’s tweet.

“That would be great, but your incredible man radar has been off for quite a while…and a teenage type post. Privacy can be good,” another fan added.

While fans wonder about Gunvalson’s latest choice in men, her former boyfriend is starting to open up about his scandalous time on RHOC.

As fans will recall, Ayers was caught lying about cancer on the last season of the hit reality show. Following his epic cancer scam, Ayers and Gunvalson parted ways while he moved to Florida to start a new life.

Although Ayers has never admitted to lying about having cancer, he did tell fans that he is a bit crazy.

“Relax… We’re all crazy,” Ayers wrote on Twitter. “Exactly… #Perspective #Truth.”

Despite admitting that he’s crazy, Ayers is currently working on a tell-all book about his time on RHOC. Ayers is preparing to dish on everything that went down last season and still claims that the network painted him as a villain.

In the meantime, as previously reported by the Inquisitr, Gunvalson is far from repairing her friendships on the show, especially after the fallout with Ayers.

“It’s all for the cameras. No apologies yet,” Shannon Beador told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. “No remorse still. It’s a joke.”
